Vickie asks to stay just long enough so that she can find an apartment for herself and her son Robbie. She is going to take tomorrow off from school and go see a divorce lawyer. Vickie teaches mathematics at the same high school where Eric is the computer lab instructor. It was she who introduced Tanya to Eric several years ago at a faculty picnic. It must have been love at first sight because the two of them spent the rest of the afternoon getting to know each other. They had their first a dinner date the following Saturday.
Tanya comforts her best friend and tells her that she is welcome to stay and use the extra bedroom as long as she likes. It has a queen size bed, nightstand, chest of drawers and her tanning light. The closet only has a few articles of clothes hanging in it and the chest of drawers only has some of baby Erica's clothes in it; she will remove them and the tanning light tomorrow. The nightstand has a table lamp on it; its drawer is empty.
Vickie asks if she and her son will be imposing on her and Eric. She knows that Tanya has a great sex life with her husband and she doesn't want to interfere with it. Tanya tells Vickie that she needn't worry about that. Vickie asks if she is sure; she doesn't want to be an inconvenience to her best friend or her coworker. But Tanya reminds Vickie that the bedroom she will be using is next to Carolyn's on the opposite side of the house and Erica's crib is in the master bedroom. She and Eric will have complete privacy. She won't be any burden to her or Eric and their two children.
It isn't a large house but it is adequate for all six of them. It has three large bedrooms, two full baths, a sunken den and a living room with an attached double car garage. The kitchen is sizeable with a breakfast bar overlooking the den. The den is used mainly as a family room. In it are the family computer on a computer desk, a large, wall mounted flat screen television, a full size sofa, a lounge chair and a glass enclosed bookshelf with five shelves - all filled with books and whatnots. On top of it are several digital video discs, including
It's a Wonderful Life
by Frank Capra and more whatnots. Above the bookshelf is a copy of
The Judgment of Paris
by Enrique Simonet, on the opposite wall is a copy of
The Birth of Venus
by Sandro Botticelli. The fourth wall holds a portrait of her ancestor. The sofa has an end table next to it with a desk lamp, the TV remote, and a photograph of Carolyn and Erica on it. The chair has a floor lamp next to it.
The living room has in it a loveseat sofa, a swivel lounge chair and another flat screen television resting on a TV stand - it has two smoke glass doors. In it are several movie DVDs. This room is mainly used by Tanya for her greeting card business. The sofa is flanked by two end tables; one has a printer on top of it, on the other are a table light, an electric tablet and a photograph of Tanya standing on a beach. She is nude; a snorkel, goggles and fins are at her feet. She has just emerged from the water. She is wet; drops of water looking like thousands of stars cling to her flesh.
A four drawer filing cabinet is in another corner, near the lounge chair. A three light, light stand is between the cabinet and the chair; a rolodex is on top of the cabinet. Lying on the coffee table in front of the sofa there is a binder containing a list of her customers, the TV remote and a picture of Tanya in her wedding dress. The fourth corner, near the front door entrance, has a clothes tree in it. Eric keeps an umbrella hanging from it; Tanya has one of her bathrobes hanging on it. She keeps it there in case someone unexpectedly rings the doorbell and she is naked.
They had the master bedroom and master bath enlarged during this past year in order to accommodate their bondage and discipline lovemaking and sex orgies with Paul, a man who grew up living with Eric and his family ever since his parents were killed in an auto accident. Eric often refers to Paul as his younger stepbrother.
Although the two best friends often share information on how their sex lives are progressing, Tanya has not told Vickie why they renovated. She has not disclosed that both Eric and Paul fuck her on a regular basis until she is a used up ragdoll. Nor has she revealed to her friend that she has been Eric's consensual sex slave for over a year, and that one of the rules of her sexual slavery demands that she remain nude at all times. Vickie knows that she frequently went nude while alone, she too has occasionally done it, but she is not aware that now Tanya must be naked at all times, except when the children are present.
Tanya knows that Vickie's living with them will be an imposition on her and Eric's sex orgies with Paul and her frequent nudity. Indeed, the three of them will probably have to put a stop to the sex encounters altogether and she won't be able to walk around her house naked anymore. But she is sure that both Eric and his stepbrother Paul will accept it. Eric will accept it because he knows that she was doing it for their mutual benefit and Paul will accept it because it was a free fuck for him every now and then. They usually indulged in their sex parties the third Thursday or Friday of every month; that is if either of Carolyn's grandparents can have her sleep over at their house in order to give her and Eric a "night off."
As for Tanya, she is willing to forgo the orgies and the nudity for her best friend. Besides, it will only be until Vickie can find an apartment for herself and her son Robbie - a few weeks at most. Tanya figures that that's what friends are for. If she cannot put herself out just a trifle for her best friend then she isn't much of a companion.
The remainder of the evening is spent with the two women and Eric talking in the living room about better times while Carolyn and Robbie play video games in the den. Vickie, who loves Tanya's new baby, coddles the infant Erica in her lap. Tanya's and Eric's second little girl is only four months old.
Tanya had some slacks and a blouse, clean panties and bra for her to put on when she went to obtain the services of an attorney Thursday morning. Then she went grocery shopping and cooked beef stew for everyone. Friday she and Eric carpooled to their school together. The following Saturday morning, Vickie and Tanya go to her apartment to remove her and Robbie's things - luckily Vincent wasn't there. Other than the rest of her and Robbie's clothing, Robbie's toys and her personal belongings, some of her own toiletries and her jewelry, Saturday she left everything else where it was. They packed everything in Tanya's sports utility vehicle.
This was on the advice of her attorney. She told Vickie not to take anything from the apartment that could be considered community property except her car. But Vincent's pickup truck is newer and in much better condition than her five year old Toyota. So, she is not worried about him claiming that she took everything of value and left him with nothing.
Then Vickie and Tanya went apartment hunting. Vickie is looking for something she can afford that is close to the school where she teaches math. Classes start at Robbie's elementary school an hour after the high school where she teaches. This way, her son Robbie will be able to take the school bus from her school to his school in the mornings; he can wait outside her school until his bus arrives to pick him up. In the afternoons he is in aftercare until his mother picks him up after she gets off work. Vickie wants an apartment that is close to her own school for convenience.

It is Saturday afternoon three weeks later. Vickie is still looking for an apartment that she can afford; one that isn't an insect infested dump and is close to her own school. She thought she found a place right off of the Interstate. It was a 300 unit building block with one and two bedroom complexes. She figured it would be nice; Robbie could meet other kids his age and make new friends. She contemplated looking at it, but then she saw that it at had human waste seeping onto the walkway. She immediately rejected the idea of living there without even looking at the apartment.
She and Tanya have just come in from apartment hunting - Eric has teamed up with his mother and the two of them have taken the three children to the zoo for the afternoon; he has Erica in child carrier. Vickie is positive that Eric and Tanya will allow her to stay as long as she needs to. However, she is somewhat apprehensive; she does not want to wear out her welcome at her best friend's house. She doesn't want to infringe on the friendship she has with Tanya.
She dearly loves Tanya and she has always considered Eric a close friend, ever since he started teaching at her school. In fact, as of late she has grown rather fond of him and sometimes wonders how he feels about her. Several times she has caught him looking at her with a gaze that was unmistakably affectionate, maybe even sexual. She is afraid that if she stays too much longer she might become a wedge between Eric and Tanya.
She also knows he cares deeply for Robbie. He and Robbie frequently play pitch and catch in the yard, play video games together, go to the movies together with Carolyn and he has helped the child put together a model airplane that they purchased together. He also brought the boy to the local playground and helped him join the football team and he does many other things with the boy that his real father never did with him. Robbie calls him Daddy Eric.
"I am bushed," Tanya says as they come into the living room. "Climbing all those apartment stairs has my back killing me. I wish my husband were here. He could give me a nice massage." She pauses. Then, "On second thought, want to go to SAMS Spa as my guest? We could relax in one of their saunas or hot tubs."
